neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 08/10/2026entering since it’s evening. not business but a little less casual. and just looked less cheerful 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 07/10/2026exiting grand central madison at rush hour and noticing people leaving the platform look ( demeanor, dress) different than those entering and thinking of @nilo.bsky.social quote on what cities are for 100
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 07/10/2026i thought grand central madison can only handle 10 car trains max @thelirrtoday.com 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 03/10/2026they have the steepest subway in the world in the smallest city in the world with a subway line 010
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 01/10/2026i’d define TOD as development around transit when and where there is mass car ownership and car oriented development normally elsewhere. NYC’s Downtown Brooklyn and LIC infill doesn’t count even today as inner nyc has low car usage. vancouver’s outer developments by skytrain do 010
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 01/10/2026surprised you’d ever take a Newark flight ( besides united flights to obscure international destinations) since you live so close to jfk and lga 100
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 01/10/2026yea but the constitution had “all men are born free and equal” which was probably written by John Adams and a sorta subtle way to abolish slavery in the state 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 01/10/2026massachusetts abolished slavery near the end of the revolution 100
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 01/10/2026is it any cheaper than a direct jfk flight to seattle? 110
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 01/10/2026“train may not wait” is clearly wrong. given they’re coming on the same track 010
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 01/10/2026i remember freight running parallel to the Elizabeth line 100
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026heathrow express also hogs a track local trains could use? or is the elizabeth line not at capacity? 100
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026most riders aren’t getting off before Paddington but many want to continue further into the city center. A paddington express that continue to say whitechapel would be more useful that current 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 29/09/2026yea medium distance relationship. but even before that, meeting a friend + just want to being in a city would get me a few times a month 010
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 29/09/2026now i’m curious how much the typical long islander who doesn’t work in the city rides the lirr. i assume it’s a very skewed distribution: mode a couple times/ year with a long tail of much more often 010
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 29/09/2026i just didn’t expect my rail usage to be double the swiss or japanese, but as people said, that includes nonnworkers 130
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 29/09/2026taking commuter rail once a week without any intercity trips just doesn’t sound like someone whose primary mode is train. i guess the difference is living 60 km from the center city in a very large metro is rare in europe 121
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 28/09/2026these numbers don’t seem that high. i take the lirr at least once a week, which is 6000 km / year. sometimes a bit more + some metronorth and 1-2 amtrak trips and im 9-10km / year 330
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 26/09/2026i’m at the combination korean iranian baptist church. i’m in Toronto 010
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 26/09/2026it’s 3-4 minutes during rush; but perhaps if it merits increasing frequency better off increasing frequency for all stations 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 26/09/2026otoh i fly out of nyc without a dominant airline 120
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 26/09/2026would it be worth the reduced frequency on local stations? would depend on how concentrated ridership is on those express stations 140
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 26/09/2026view taking off from LGA yesterday evening. could make out the nor’easter clouds 020
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 26/09/2026weirdly, my flight out of lga yesterday evening had no delays 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 26/09/2026a store refused to serve my dad because he looked turkish. my mom heard people rant against “southern people” which meant turks but maybe included greeks 040
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 25/09/2026someone thought the lirr was also a freight train 030
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 25/09/2026lirr stopping its short trains ( usually diesels) at the front of the platform at jamaica is dumb. a lot are transferring to the airtrain or subway at the rear of the platforms. esp the port jeff diesels with lots of stony brook students going home to queens 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 25/09/2026i imagine it could be, say i drive 120 miles in the morning and back. unless there’s a charger near where i park or have dinner, it eats up time i don’t have much of 200
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 25/09/2026long day trips or weekend trips are more the issue 120
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 25/09/2026maybe i’m too tolerant but i feel like they’re not bad mostly. well not the “i moved to texas and surprised it has Texan weather” 131
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 24/09/2026i suspect a lot of users wont bother use the prepare to ship feature 010
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 23/09/2026the chud whose ex wife is married to Paul McCartney ( just adding cause it’s so random) 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 23/09/2026AI training data still american biased even in china. or the creator asked for a type of train that’s american 030
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 23/09/2026didn’t realize murder suicides have been a thing that long, but never thought of it. someone who i went to college with did that. well the suicide unplanned, he shot himself when the police were about to catch him. never expected it out of him 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 22/09/2026how dare you slander Blessed Karl! seriously, he came to the throne midway through the war and not really in any position to do much 110
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 21/09/2026can you elaborate? i thought it was just they just gradually got overshadowed as larger european states got more functional post 1600 100
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 20/09/2026why would you think it’s not a significant portion of bqe traffic? 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 20/09/2026it doesn’t do great, speeds connecting outer neighborhoods are very slow and orbital traffic snarls local main streets 000
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 20/09/2026in my experience driving on the LIE, more exits to the BQE than continues into manhattan. generally the LIE is more jammed in eastern queens than nassau so a lot is within city 010
neipate.bsky.social @neipate.bsky.social · 20/09/2026there’s a lot of people living near the BQE with low but higher than manhattan levels of car ownership so some must be local. then long islanders going to jersey, many but not all of whom take the belt but the BQE is shorter if you’re from the north side of LI 110
